Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Communities In Schools of Peninsula! Our volunteers play a vital role in helping us surround students with a community of support so they can stay in school and succeed in life. Each year, dedicated volunteers contribute more than 5,000 hours across programs—from school-based mentoring and board engagement to holiday support and special events.
Who Can Volunteer?
Almost anyone with a heart for serving others can get involved. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old. Many roles require as little as one hour per week during the school year, with flexible options available in other programs. Our team works closely with you to match your interests, skills, and availability with the right opportunity, and training is provided at your volunteer site.
Getting Started
- Complete and submit the volunteer application.
- Connect with the team to discuss your interests and availability.
- Attend a required volunteer orientation covering program guidelines, safety, communication skills, and strategies for supporting students.
- Complete required background checks, including Washington State Patrol clearance and a national screening.
- Once cleared, you’ll be matched with a student or program and provided on-site support from a Program or Site Coordinator.
